Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!
Dom:
Here's another interesting one..
Of the 18 winning teams of the million:
5 were first
7 were second
6 were third
in the second-to-last leg!
Just goes to show that it's mostly pot luck as to who ends up winning!
Prophet:
I've always thought that was interesting too. The finale is just a leg like any other one, your previous performance counts for nothing. All that it comes down to is whatever happens on that one day.

Ernie & Cindy got EP, which promises them to get into the Final 3 with no opportunity to win.
Amani & Marcus were the 5th in Leg 1, and Andy & Tommy the 7th.

Supertux,
Get Real! Those past events have no impact on what happened when AR19 unless you can prove some causality (which nobody can). I'm with Prophet. There is an equal chance of each team that makes the final 3 winning. Are you trying to run an Astrology exercise here?
Also, how do you know that Andy/Tommy are even going to make the final 3? I think they will be displaced by Ernie/Cindy.
theschnauzers:
At some point, I plan to also publish my compilation of each season's leg-by-leg finish order (including the uber-leg midpoints) that I use in computing the final placement averages for all the teams in all seasons list. (Wikipedia has never kept midpoint arrival order for the uberlegs.)
I'm well aware of some of those odd facts in the performance of teams.

I agree. The best team doesn't always win the prize.
